Animal spray or the air freshener
Personally, I can't even stand it if my GN doesn't reek of the 'new car scent'...the SPRAY, not the little hangy thing....the spray is awesome- olfactory heaven.

That is funny but I know what you mean. I'm ready to build a new car myself. First I have to finish painting the Metro then I'm going to.
That is a really nice car. For me personally, the underside and is what makes that car special. I've always had cars that needed work underneath. That thing is nice. Your story of the black stripes is great. It never, ever, ever gets old either. I used to take my GN out only to do just that.

I would love to get it in GMHTP.
I am going to try and sneak a pass in, maybe a private pass.
Travis, if you haven't already email Rick with some pics of the car and a little write up about it! Here is his email...

Just kidding, I will let ya share the experience of being pulled to the seat like a rocket.
Awesome car man, hope you make one of the next couple MAGNA meets. I'll definately jump in the line for rides; I've never been in a car that fast......

Bill builds some bad ass rides. It has been a LONG wait but well worth it. When I fire it up in the Garage it shakes the house.
So most likely Casting number 25500016That's exactly what I'm talkin' about!
That is one shweet GN! I like the Telstars. I had a set on mine and switched for ProStars. They don't look that much different.
With that build, that dude should honk. It's more than what I have and mine pulls like the proverbial freight train. Yours should easily be a 10 second car.
It feels good to drive it around and know that you could probably beat just about anything that happened to pull up beside you, doesn't it? (not that you would do that!).
Congratulations, Travis. You deserve it, as much as you help folks.

Yeah I hate to see it happen Travis I cant believe Billy sold you his car. I came back from vacation and it was gone. We tore into this thing a year ago and from that point on we have had countless hours building one of the nicest GNs on the planet. For once I thought we were building something he would hold on to. I must say it without a dought is the fastest street car I have ever driven, it never stops pullin. Word to the wise BE CAREFUL!!. Hopefully we will start on something else soon. The only problem will be he will end up selling that to and then everywhere we go we will see one of Billys old cars. Did you change the console already? I know its hard trying to personalize something thats already perfect . well for what its worth Congrtats you have one of the nicest GNs on the road.
Thanks Jeff and Thanks guys for the nice comments. Nothing like enjoying one of the nicest and fastest street GN'S with members like you guys.
Jeff I went with the console riser from Jax. I hate not having a console so I had to do it. I guess it is a Italian thing
I spent hours looking at this car every nut,bolt,clamp,etc is perfect. The clamps all face the same way, the nuts are all new, it is a show winner for sure. I can tell that MANY hours and busted knuckles went into this car.
After I sold all my S2 parts, I looked at so many cars that were just a disappointment and built sloppy. This car is just stunning
You and Bill should be happy, the car did not go to someone immature that is going to trash the car and hack it up. This car needs nothing and will remain the way it is.
As far as being careful, no joke Jeff. I punched it with a buddy of mine in the car and both of us needed a cleaning of the undercarriage. It sounded like a full blown race car yet rides quiet and tight
Defiantly one of the nicest pieces to come out of the Anderson shop. Hey Jeff the White Turbo T has your D/S seat belt in it that SR is driving
